Surge tank

Overview

In the central drinking water supply system, air-bladder chambers are used to compensate for pressure fluctuations in the supply line. They are used primarily to stabilize smaller water networks, where, for economic reasons, a water tower is not an option. A pressure transmitter is deployed to monitor the tank and control the pumps. A low level switch detects the minimum water level in the tank and thus prevents air from entering the water supply network.
